**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** #1347 enabled collection of statistics by default on the `ListingOptions` constructor, though the tables created with `CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE` can't still use this feature since they are created manually. https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/blob/e54110fb592e03704da5f6ebd832b8fe1c51123b/datafusion/core/src/execution/context.rs#L486-L488 **Describe the solution you'd like** We already have a per file extension listing option implementation for the `read_` dataframe APIs (e.g. `CsvReadOptions`, `ParquetReadOptions`) and they have sane defaults (like `collect_stats` is `false` for CSV and `true` for Parquet). I wonder whether we can just use them here and obtain the `ListingOptions` directly from them. **Describe alternatives you've considered** Leaving as is, or enabling them globally (instead of refactoring that part to use `ReadOptions`) by just setting the flag to true. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
